4,000 foot one-story in Richwoods in Frisco

My wife loves one stories! So the good husband I am, agreed to build a one-story home in Richwoods.

My number one concern though is the footprint of the home taking up so much of the lot. Fortunately, the lot we chose was oversized and perfect for what we wanted.

It is rare to find an opportunity to build a one story with a yard in a desired location, but at Richwoods it is possible.

We built with John Landon Signature Series and have an absolutely incredible home!

For more info on builders, available lots or plans and pricing for Richwoods in Frisco call me at (469) 733-2723.

And feel free to call me and take a look at our home if you are considering a one-story. I do not mind.

Why Stone Edging Matters.

Jun12

I am a big stone edging advocate. I can’t stand when the grass comes through the mulch in the flower beds!

On a house that I owned before this one in Richwoods, I had stone edging done and it looked good. But one day I noticed that there was grass in the mulch and needless to say, I was frustrated.

Well as I was shopping contractors I found a no-nonsense stone guy that has been doing stone on new homes for over 12 years.

I asked him if there was anyway to block the grass growing under the stone wall and in the beds and he looked befuddled.

He told me that it CAN’T grow into the flower beds. And I was both skeptical and excited.

What he does differently is he digs 4 to five inches down and uses rebar in the trough and then levels it and adds concrete. That is all that happens on the first day.

The second day is when they start adding stone and mortar after the base concrete dries.

It made sense to me, so lets just see if the grass doesn’t sneak it’s way through!

And for resale, it will get you back every penny! Well worth the investment!

Out of their 31 lots in the Country and the Landing, as of today only 2 of the lots are not spoken for. The others are either closed, sold or on hold. See below.

Why is Newcastle selling so well? It’s simple.

Newcastle Homes has been around for many years in DFW. They have seen the ups and downs. They get it.

They also know what the buyer wants and have accommodated my clients wishes as best as they can.

And they are by far the no-nonsense builder in Richwoods. Their prices have always been higher but they include the upgrades, wants and needs that you will be including with Toll Brothers or John Landon Signature Series.

They build a beautiful Porte Cochere plan that just makes sense. They build in the 4,200 to 5,200 range and normally include 5 bedrooms and always 3 car garages.

Board on board 8 foot fence – standard. Upgraded Landscaping Package – Standard. And on and on and on.

They definitely have a Texas exterior and it works!!! They are also building a stucco product and it as well works.

Richwoods in Frisco Pool Review

Jun10

This weekend, we ventured down to the pool at Richwoods both Saturday and Sunday and I will report that it is definitely is the best and Biggest community pool on North Texas!

The close to 8,000 square feet of Water is almost overwhelming when walking through the gate. A key fob is required when entering and you can enter in two different locations. There are 4 arbors scattered through the grounds for shade.

The kids area is fantastic with an entry at 6 inches and goes up to around 2.5 feet with fours small water fountain features.

There is an awesome slide that is very deceiving, because it is FAST!!! A basketball goal is permanently cemented into the ground and there are poles for a volleyball net.

But what is just incredible is the size. It looks big when you first see it, but when you are in it WOW! It takes forever to get from one side to the other. A pool this big should be able to handle the number of homes in Richwoods.

And here is my small guy both days in the pool. My oldest was too excited to pose!

For more info on Richwoods or the builders and available lots call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723 today.

And ask me about my 4% Total Rebate program for clients that purchase in Richwoods.

Update on Richwoods Amenity Center, Pool and Playground

May25

Richwoods Amenity Center in Frisco is 97% complete! The landscaping is almost completely in and the interior is amazing! It has plans to open early summer!!!

First the entry for Richwoods Amenity center opens to a beautiful foyer with arches and a great combination of tile and stone. There is a flat screen that welcomes you with a large information center to the left about Richwoods.

To the right you will enter the 4,000 square foot work-out facility with lockers, and two large rooms for individual classes.

But what really impresses me is to the left. You walk into a large beautiful open room that boasts a Texas sized fireplace, bar area and cathedral ceilings with rows of lighting right above your head!

The cedar beams really give it character and the stone on the walls make it feel both new and luxurious.

The plans are residents can rent this room and another out for parties or gatherings for a nominal fee. I can’t wait!

The resort style pools slide is almost complete and looks to be both fun and safe for the kiddos.

The pool was being filled up today and looks great!

The Playground that is adjacent to the pool is up and after the big rain last night, they are waiting to add the wood chips until they level out the mud. Again, great for the kids.

There are two sections for younger kids and larger toddlers.

All builders are continuing to sell strong and raise prices. On June 1st there will be a rise on price for lumber so I am sure the prices will continue to rise.

Landon Homes in Richwoods Hollow has sold 5 of their first 7 that have been released as of yesterday. They have plans that begin in the $360’s for around 2,900 square feet.

They have a $3,000 additional incentive through Memorial Day if you are ready to pull the trigger this weekend.

ANNOUNCING West Park in Plano by Toll Brothers at Haggard Farm

May16

West Park by Toll Brothers in Plano will be the last chance for a new home on Haggard Farm.

West Park has been in the works now for close to 2 years and currently offers Toll Brothers but another very good builder will also start sales very soon.

The northern portion of Haggard Farm, approximately 59 acres will consist of about 208 lots and plans to have a pool, playground and outdoor pavilion.

The entry will have two huge stone structures with two man made ponds on each side.

The community plans to have two sections, the Villas and the Estates. The West Park Villas will be around 55 foot wide standard and West Park Estates plan to be around 75 foot wide.

This is bittersweet for me because I graduated from Plano Senior High and every day or off campus lunch we would speed to Collin Creek mall and pass Haggard Farm with the Llamas and cows. But sweet to help clients move to an excellent builder in the best remaining locations in Plano.

On the first weekend, Toll Brothers received 18 hold checks out of 23 lots that they released!

Toll Brothers highly sought after Vallagio, Mount Pelier and Maltese will all be offered at West Park.

For more info on Park West Estates or Park West Villas in Plano at Haggard Farm call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723 for more info.

“And don’t forget to ask Brad about his 4% Total Rebate for Park West for his clients that contract before the end of June!”
